The Union has recently appointed senior IPS officer, Mr. Anurag Garg, as the new Director General (DG) of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). This development took place after IPS S N Pradhan (1988 batch) retired in August, and IPS Anish Dayal Singh (who is also the DG of CRPF) took the additional charge.

Who Is IPS Anurag Garg?

Mr. Garg, a 1993 batch Indian Police Service officer from the Himachal Pradesh cadre, is presently posted as the Additional DG of the Border Security Force (BSF) at its headquarters. Earlier, he had been given a proforma promotion to the rank of DGP in Himachal Pradesh police.

Born on 13th July 1967, IPS Anurag Garg hails from Uttar Pradesh. He obtained a degree in Electrical Engineering from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi in 1988. Officer Garg obtained a PG Diploma in Public Policy from MD I, Murshidabad and is also an alumnus of National Defence College, Delhi.

During his tenure in Himachal Pradesh, Officer Garg’s acumen earned him the title — “Sherlock Holmes.” He is credited for solving many sensitive and difficult cases during his tenure in Himachal Pradesh and CBI. After getting selected for the IPS in 1993, he got Himachal cadre. He started working as an ASP in Shimla and then became ADC to the Governor. He took charge of SP Bilaspur and Kullu Jiton. At the end of the year 2000, he was included in the important Kosovo Mission of the United Nations, where he was given the command of many important stations.

Upon returning to India, IPS Anurag Garg got a chance to work in CBI on a central posting, where he held important responsibilities of SP and Abhay of the Anti-Corruption Branch. He solved more than 10 high-profile cases in which many officials, former ministers and politicians were accused. Nearly 200 cases were investigated under him, in which his speciality is discussed even today. In 2008, Anurag Garg became the DIG of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. During this time Anurag Garg did many systematic reforms for better security and police service to the public.

His experience in CBI proved useful here and he successfully resolved about 500 complaints and more than 200 cases. In 2011, the CBI requested the Himachal government to call IPS Anurag Garg to Delhi once again. Soon he was made Deputy Inspector General of Special Crime.

An order issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the appointment of Garg as the NCB DG “on a deputation basis, with effect from the date of assumption of charge of the post till 23.05.2026, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.
